 * I have this plugin installed on a few sites and they have all reacted the same
   way after this version update.
    The plugin creates a new directory in the uploads
   folder and stores the backups there. I then have to re-configure the excludes
   to exclude the previous “backups” directory where the earlier version had stored
   the backups….? In every other respect, the plugin works quite well

 * You can change BackUpWordPress’s path back to the pre-v2.1.3 directory by adding
   this to `wp-config.php’:
 * define(‘HMBKP_PATH’, dirname(__FILE__) . ‘/wp-content/backups’);
